AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Wonderful Hollywood Regency–style table lamp dating from the 1970s, characterized by a geometric design known as the "Skyscraper".
Design details
The piece features a sculptural structure that alternates brass and steel elements. This architectural style is often associated with or attributed to designers and manufacturers of the era such as:
Willy Rizzo: Known for luxury furnishings that combine precious metals and geometric shapes.
Romeo Rega: Famous for the paired use of brass and chrome in linear structures.
BD Lumica: A producer that made similar models in that period. Entirely in brass, steel, and lead. The base of the shown lamp, marked, belongs to a production from the historic Loste foundry and lighting manufacturing in Brussels, as indicated by the circular factory mark "LOSTE BRUX" visible on the bottom.
Details on the Mark and Provenance
• Hallmark: The circular stamp impressed repeatedly on the base bears the name "LOSTE" at the top and the abbreviation "BRUX" (standing for Brussels) at the bottom. In the center is the company logo, depicting a stylized crown.
• Production: The Loste company was a well-known Belgian manufacturer specializing in artistic bronzes and high-quality lighting fixtures, active primarily in the 20th century. A very rare piece of the highest quality with some signs of age. The lamps were produced in very limited numbers, making this piece a highly sought-after collectible. The lampshade is not original, composed of thousands of chromed wires that allow the light to shine through with a very pleasant effect. Fully rewired with top-quality components such as BTicino, etc., featuring a space-saving socket.
